Finding a Way Home - Vow or War? (Carlie's past)
*Village Gathering*
"Welcome everyone to our 14th generation of human and 2nd generation of elves to be appointed as our leader of each race. Please enjoy yourselves while you can! Our appointed leaders will be arriving soon." shouted one elf.
Lucia and Henry were gazing at the Crystal Lake just outside the village thinking about their bright future ahead, there were no worries, no war, nothing but peace.
"Henry?" Lucia placed her head on Henry.
"Yeah? What's wrong?" replied Henry. "You looked worried..."
"...No... I'm fine... it's just that... I've been thinking..." Lucia hesitated. "I mean... Are you sure you don't mind being around with me? I mean... you know the village law... Humans and elves cannot be together because... we can live much longer."
Henry laughed as he held her soft hands firmly, "Why'd you suddenly ask this kind of question? Remember I told you that I don't care about the age differences, as long as I know that the person I love is right here, right now beside me and I'm telling her that... I love her..."
*********************************************************************
*Back at the village, Elder's Hut*
"So which human and elf do you have in mind for leader of this generation?" asked one elf.
"Hmm... I did think about appointing Lucia..." the wise elf considers.
"...and I thought about appointing Henry Birdon..." replied one man.
"You've read my mind, old friend... they seem like the most trustworthy generation that we can pass down to..." as the two wise elders laughed.
Suddenly there was a man came dashing through the village until he reached the 'Gathering Place' and said something that was not meant to be said by anybody.
"Everybody, I've got something to say! No offense elves, but I reckon that the two crystals should let us humans to handle it." Everybody was stunned by what the man had said...
*At Crystal Lake*
"Lucia?" Henry began his conversation, "Why don't we get marry?"
Lucia was astounded by Henry's decision. "Ar...Are you sure about this Henry? You'll regret it..."
"No!" Henry took a gasp of breath, "Remember what I told you before? I don't care, as long as you're here with me, have you forgotten?"
"How can I forget?" Lucia gazed at Henry with the reflected shimmering waters from the lake on his eyes. "It's just that... I'm not prepared... because, what the elf elder said still bothers me... I mean, I'd love to be by your side for all eternity even if I have to lose my life! But... I..."
"Then that's fine! You've already made your decision... I know that you'll live longer than me, but I don't care... Let's go and tell the elder!" Henry jumped up and dragged Lucia back to the village.
Late that night, Henry and Lucia came back to the village and were about to announce their marriage in which, they found that the ceremony still hasn't been set. Knowing people in the village were starting to have conflicts and everything the couple could hear was:
"Why is it your right that humans should keep two crystals?"
"This is absurd!"
"Because we know how to handle things better!"
"This is one thing that we don't like humans!"
"You always say elves are better! In... what ways?"
"What's happening?" Lucia asks unexpectedly letting go of each other's hand.
"Is this what I heard? That... humans keeping two crystals?" Henry replied with confusion. The couple saw the two elders heading towards them and questioned why this conflict has happened.
^^
"My gosh... can't believe one word from a man could cause the whole village in terror!" Chester sounded in disbelief. "I'd bet the what you so called the 'chaos' is going to descend?"
"Chester..." as Arche walked towards him and whacked him on the head. "Carlie is serious! Can't believe that you would say such thing! I know it might sound ridiculous to you because the story might sound... 'lame' but she's telling the truth! So please listen! Arrgghh..."
"... anyway... just when the villagers was about to search for the man to prove that humans wanted to rule the crystals, he just happened to disappear in thin air and was nowhere to be found..." Carlie stopped in disappointment. "...Maybe we should take a break now... Carlie's tired." Klarth told the group, "we'll leave you alone for awhile..." as Klarth and the group left Carlie's room and head outside the Inn.
"Poor girl... Just because a word said by some... man and her life where she could spend the time with her parents for eternity is over..." sympathized Arche.
"Just give her sometime. We're trying to cheer her up as she could lift this burden up and the only thing we could do now is... to listen." Klarth sounded frustrated.
"Wo... what's with this guy here? That's not the usual you man! I didn't say I'm not listening! I'm just... sad." muttered Arche.

~! 2 years later !~
During the years, there has been no peace between humans and elves. The days of darkness were drawing closer and closer each day, and the chances when my parents wanted to meet each other were lesser and lesser each day... There was no way that my parents could announce their marriage in a situation like this, elves and humans has never said a word, they were like in a complete different world.
One day, at a marketplace the unknown man appeared out of nowhere has returned and this time it was more than raising arguments between the races but for war! Once again, somebody wanted to prove that the unknown man has returned and it was him that created this menace. Again, he was nowhere to be found and conflicts begins.
Lucia gazed upon Henry's face "Henry? I know this might not sound optimistic, but I don't think we can get married." "Very soon this world is going to devour under evil's hands... I sensed an unpleasant aura lately..." she continued.
"It's alright Lucia, we'll find a way to get married. If we can't get married in front of our people, we'll just marry without letting them know then." whispered Henry.
"Henry... you can't be serious!" Lucia was astounded by Henry's words. "I don't want to break the village law, as long as you have me in my heart I'll be thankful Henry. Please... don't do it!" she begged.
"No Lucia! No! I won't! Even if we have each other in our hearts, I still think that it won't be forever! Getting married is the only way, I dreamt that you have left me all by myself and your disappearance hurts my heart deep to the bones and it makes me shiver." Henry was intensified.
^^
Carlie sat still and looked at the group, "My mother was totally out of words after what my father had said and she almost embed her heart to his. Late that night they escaped into the caves where there were some elves and humans there. They begged them not to say a word and agreed to be their witnesses of their marriage. Everybody enjoyed the celebration secretly in the caves..."
vv
One elf said, "I think it's time to leave you two alone, if you need anything just call us. You won't get lost in these 'room caves'." "Thanks." the couple replied.
*Vast plains outside the Village*
Late that night inside the cave where the passionate fires were burning hot and a small meal was set inside their room. As they sat next to each other by the fire, they were discussing how their future would be like.
"Henry?" Lucia came and walked towards him holding two glasses of punch but sounded in disappointment. "I can't believe that we're married... how are we going to face our people?"
He took a deep breath with relief and said, "Lucia, I'm not going to worry about anything at this very moment or even think. All I want now is to be with you alright?" As they talked and laugh and had a few glass of punches, their cheeks were red. Just that very moment, they looked deep into each other's eyes and moved their heads closer towards each other then kissed as they made love through the fiery night.

"Nine months later, it was peace for the people hiding in the caves. It was like as if humans and elves were once again in peace. Not to mention is the time when I was born, it was the time when I feel family love around me. But that family love did not last long, a messenger came to the caves and announced that war is nearly ready and everyone must be in good condition. A few days later, they will drag all of them to prepare for war whether they like it or not." Carlie's rage was beginning to rise, as the worst part of her life was mentioned once again...
vv
*9 months later - Preparation for War*
At the darkest night where the moon was in the middle of the sky, Lucia and Henry escaped from the cave holding their beloved child across the cold vast plains further beyond the village where the ocean lies. She was wrapped with a thick cloth to keep warm and a note was placed inside it. The young child had no idea why their parents had tears running down their cheeks, as she was gently placed in a basket. The basket drifted slowly across the calm and quiet ocean where the sound of the water slowly driven the baby off to sleep.
The couple stood by the ocean until the basket was slowly out of sight. They spent most parts of the night staring at the ocean and back at the caves at dawn. The guards from both races were dressed in armor and crashed in to the caves and dragging individuals apart, humans with humans and elves with elves. When it was my parents' turn, they grasp their hands as tightly as possible when the guard came and move their hands apart. Slowly, they saw each other is pulling further and further away... and that was the last time they've ever seen each other.
While still preparing for the war, Lucia and Henry became the leader of their race and to be the leader, part of the ceremony was for the leader to choose someone to wed with and to pass on to the next generation. Lucia and Henry however, was forced to get married due to the fact that the villagers know how much they love each other. Now, they must face the worst yet cruel punishment that they will ever face is to fight each other in the war.
But what Henry is about to see is something that he will never forget for all eternity, perhaps that it must be fate. That must be the consequences...
*********************************************************************
Now that's my Chapter 3 done, gosh... what a major mind block I had! Well... since I got my story on the go again, so what do you think?? Is it dragging you to the story so far?? Chapter 4 is hopefully to be complete much faster. I know Carlie's past is very long, but it's coming to an end. Just remember! Read and Reviews thanks!!
